Percy Jackson - His Mother's Side

Wooden Chests and Rainbow Turtles

Thank you to Unicorn_Colours for the amazing idea that I will use for a long time hopefully. I love it!

Percy's POV

So the last time I was shown on a chapter, I was being chased by a Chinese old man with a cane.

And I had disclosed I actually had a plan.

Well I do.

But I had no idea how to go about it.

So I'll figure it out I guess.

Anyhow, I finally ditched Ying Yang and started on my way to the Great Wall.

You see, there's a certain part of the wall that has an opening. Qin, the Chinese emperor obsessed with immortality and built the wall, made it as a hide out from anyone trying to kill him.

He ended up killing himself on this quest but still.

So I decided to set out and find it.

I had already found some information on the hideout thing from an eager Chinese boy who I paid a few.... Insert Chinese currencies here.

He had heard legends about some creature thing blocking the entrance to the room. He also heard the room was near "the bit between two sections". As if that made any sense. I guess my plan will just have to be walking around until I find it. How likely.

I reached the wall and stared at it. Well. It was definitely not what I expected.

See this part wasn't the normal thing you'll see in a picture. The actual wall. This part was all dirt.

And it hit me.

Literally, the wall of dirt moved and some hit me.

I almost moved back, but I realized something.

The place Qin would be least likely to be, is where he would be.

The dirt wall!

I started digging around hoping no one would come by and report me to the Chinese cops. That would be embarrassing.

There it is!!! My hand bonked into something that felt like stone. I kept digging until I uncovered the small doorway. I tried to pry it open but it wouldn't budge. I kept pulling before I got so fed up I banged my hand on the door. I heard a Click! and the door popped open.

I stared at it, not even thinking.

Then I went inside.






Once again, I didn't expect what I saw. The "room" wasn't really a room. More of an elaborate tunnel system below the dirt.

The room I was in had only one exit from it. But I still wondered how I would find my way back. Deciding to just take out Riptide and make marks on the wall, I did just that making small indentions.

If only I noticed the marks fading as I walked away.

Then maybe I wouldn't have met the Rainbow Turtle.




Continuing to walk down the tunnels, I wondered what I would meet. Maybe that eager little kid was right about the guardian of the room.

I wonder what it would be.

Arriving upon what looked to be the last room, I touched the door and it opened up. I walked in and saw something I never thought I would.

A small wooden chest on a pedestal, and an overly large rainbow turtle watching me.
